    The cottage sits on the end of a rural farmhouse in an elevated position overlooking its own valley and waterfalls with an outside terrace and a very lively undercover hot tub.The large kitchen and dining area where we spent all our time has underfloor heating,a large smart tv and all the mod cons including a Nespresso coffee maker.There is a cosy adjacent lounge with Gas open effect fire and two bedrooms upstairs with electric wall heaters plus a bathroom with bath and shower. The other benefit for us was the location on the west coast near Wasdale,Ennerdale and Eskdale.Dog friendly with no parking issues and very peaceful.There was a nice welcome back with some treats as well which was a lovely touch.The cottage is maintained to a high standard and squeaky clean.The owners have done a brilliant job and we can't wait to return!

    Thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re so pleased you loved the cottage, the views, and the hot tub, and that the location was perfect for exploring the western Lakes. Your kind words about the standard and cleanliness mean a lot. We’re delighted you had such a great stay and can’t wait to welcome you back. Property Owner

About the location

ARLECDON

Whitehaven 6 miles; Cockermouth 10 miles; Keswick 22 miles

Frizington is a small rural village in Cumbria on the western edge of the Lake District National Park. The village is known for its lovely 18th century church and it's tasty fish and chip shop. Frizington was historically a collection of farms and houses, but due to mining opportunities in the area, it is now a unified village with three churches, a pub, a pizza shop, a post office doubling as a general store, a primary school and a library. Towards the coast, you can enjoy the marina at Whitehaven which is bustling with shops, bars, eateries, museums and has a train station and golf club, or you can explore Saint Bees Head Heritage Coast which is a clifftop nature reserve and a great spot for birdwatching and walking trails. Alternatively, head into the Lake District where you can challenge yourself to climb Scafell Pike (England's highest peak) or spend a day in one of the lovely countryside villages, such as Nether Wasdale or Ennerdale Bridge which both offer rivers walks, pubs serving food and scenic views. Also in the area, you can take a walk around the ruins of Egremont Castle, enjoy a National Trust tour of Wordsworth House, or take a thrill seeking adventure at Go Ape Whinlatter. Frizington is a great base for enjoying the sweeping Cumbrian coastline and the breathtaking Lake District.

Note: This property is on a working farm, dogs must be kept on leads near livestock and through the fields. Please note: bookings can be taken from a Friday or Monday only.
